I recently went to a couple of nostalgia-based concerts. Without thinking, we wouldn't have modern vaccines, computers, space flight, air conditioning, or any of the other modern conveniences that have made life livable.īear with me. It's what separates us from animals it has enabled all the progress (and, granted, a lot of the problems) that we experience today. At the time, I remember thinking this was a strange complaint thinking, after all, is how we solve problems. An ex-girlfriend of mine once told me that I think too much.
